The District Attorney Bill.
Mrs. Partington angrily rustles

Mrs. Darlington angrily rustles her
skirts, and gives voice to her feelings
The nomination of Hon. VIM. N. Seawell
was regarded as an exceptionally good one,
which completely silenced Republican com
ment, and, notwithstanding the large Re.
publican majority in this county coupled
with the efforts of Doodle demagogues, Sena-
tor Forbes won by scratch.
This sounds oddly enough coming,
as it does, from so. called Republican
paper, nevertheless, that portion re-
lating to Judge Seawell is entirely
true. His nomination was without
question good nomination, and Sena-
tor Forbes himself is one of the fore
most admirers of Judge Seawell's high
character, and ability. There were not
enough mugwumps to scratch the Re
publican ticket, and Mr.. Forbes won
by a failure to scratch, however, this
slight inaccuracy is not surprising
as one of the oldest things in the above
extract is that there are no particularly
obtrus;ve grammatical or orthograph-
ical blunders.
The following is more in keeping
with the general style of Mrs Parting,
ton:
His damn fool District Attorney bill is
doubtless master piece, and could only have
eminated from such mind or that of some
broken pate crank that could be satisfied no
other way.
This is funny; it is funny because
the coat for which nobody else saw an
owner was recognized by Mrs. Parting
tons best friend the Virginia Chroni-
Gle, and was claimed as soon as the
ownership was pointed out it is funny
because in the whole State of Nevada
there is not another voice raised
against the District Attorney bill and
it is funny because the sentiment and
spelling are so beautifully balanced by
the following clipping from another
article, bearing on the same subject:
NO dirty, contemptable, insinuations
should be made.
The curiously ingenious method, by
which the photographed balance is
maintained, will be seen by noting
that Mrs. P. spells "emanated" with an
q instead OF an "a" and uses an "a"
instead of an ii in contemplate.
The sentiment expressed by the last
Clipping is excellent and so exactly
counterpolses the former that the in
ference is reasonable that Mrs. P. has
abandoned saying nothing in single
sentences, and intends hereafter to
myslify her readers by conflicting
thoughts in different columns.

All over this county, and along the
line of the G. s. G. in Inyo County
there are little mines that are paying
their owners more than wages for the
work expended. The population of
independent mine owners is rapidly
increasing and, in few years, with
the present increase of facilities for
working, this will be one of the most
prosperous portions of the United
States.

Ed. BuLLETIN--I notice under the
head of Legislative Work" in your
issue of January Goth, that our present
Legislators are workers. | also notice
under the head "How State Lands are
Solo, extracts from the report of Sur.
veyor General Preble think our
present Legislature should inquire
into the cause of the delay in obtain
ing title, experienced by persons buy
ing State lands. Some purchasers who
selected their lands as far back as 1882
have never f.received a patent nor
any notice that the lands have
been approved to the State by the
U. S Land Office. | think that this
shows plainly that there is something
wrong somewhere, and the affairs of
the Land Office should be looked into,
for people who bought land years ago,
and paid cash for the same, do not
want to wait a lifetime for their pat
ents. II the State wants to sell land,
it ought to be able to give patent
within a reasonable time. If we do
not beware, we will be in the same
situation with respect to our State
Lands, as is California with her Uni
versity lands. We will be unable to
give title to persons who have pur-
chased. Anyone can see the trouble
this will cause, and for this reason, l
think our Legislators should look into
the matter.
Land Owner.
The following extract from Sur.
veyor General Preble's report will ex-
plain the delay in cases as far back as
1884;
mo approvals of selections by the
State have been made to the State by
the General Government through the
Department of the Interior since
March 81, 1884, and there is now pend.
ing approval in Washington the large
amount of sol 1895 acres selected ut
various times since March, 1884.
Every acre of this land was selected at
lhe instance of applicants to this Of
flee, and they are anxionsly awaiting
the opportunity to obtain their title.
This office is powerless in the hands
of the General Land Office at Wash
| ington. No contracts can be- issued
on land, applied for since March, 1884
under this grant, and the School Fund
Is consequently suffering by not being
able to obtain interest on the deferred
| payments on this land. These unap.
proved selections represent over $500,
900, which if the land were approved,
would be drawing interest al six por
cent. per annum. The public schools
of this State are consequently being
kept from the use OF $4,000 year
through the non.approval of these
| lands"
1t would certainly be well for the
| Legislature 10 send u memorial to
Congress, requesting relief in this
matter, and at the same time urging
that the State should be thoroughly
surveyed.

Dear Sir-I submit herewith the

On first shaft level, in drift parallel
to main level, a cross cut has been run
north, cutting the ore body at this
point, which is four feet thick, going
down and up, strong, of high grade
ore. The upraise, at west end of first
shaft level, has been extended ten feet,
carrying the same ledge OF ore. The
slopes above the first shaft level con-
tinue about the same. A stope has
been opened above the tunnel at the
top of the main incline, which is pro-
ducing considerable ore. The usual
quantity of ore is being extracted,
everything working smoothly, in and
about the mine.

The craze for stained glass has taken
such strong hold upon those of eS-
thetic tastes and those who would be
aesthetic that every city of prominence
has studios or work-reeinS where this

into intricate SeSi gnS, brilliant or sub

surroundings dictates. Even modest

radiators wherever necessary, and
thence back again to the boiler; or, in
case of the system being disabled, it can
be discharged into u eatch-basin with
sewer connections. This mode of con-
veying the steam is the reverse of the
old systems. and its superiority lies in
the fact of all the pipes being cleared of
condensation by gravity, thus avoiding
interchangeable hammering and pound
ingmoises in the steam pipes, as in the

Is this Country to be Ruled by .

In collection of statistics based upon
the last census we find the following
points of interest, says the Atlanta Con

$4,000; females, 24,036,00O. The total
annual deaths We're: Males, 391, 900 ;
females, $4,000. In proportion to the
population, 3iS, COO women should have
died to maintain the same relative NOR
tality with tho men.
OF the defective classes there were of
idiots, $1,000 males and 81 600 females.
In proportion there should have been
So, coo female idiots. OF the blind there
were $1,000 males and $4,000 females.
In proportion there should have been
24,000 blind women.
Of the deaf muteS there were $4,000
males and l5,0O0 females. In proper
ton there should have been 1900 deaf
mute women.
In aims houses there were $1,000 men
and 81 600 women. In proportion there
should have been $1,000 pauper women.
In prisons there were $1,000 men and
$500 women. To maintain the proper
ton there should have been $1,000
wOmen.in prison, or ten times as many
as were.
The only place were the weakness of
women was shown was in the matter of
insanity, the Statistics of which give
44,G00 men and 4T,o00 women in public
aSylumS. TO maintain tho relation
there should have been only Il 900 i'll
sane women. When, however. it is
considered how much cause for female
dementia is contributed by the men
the small number Of crazy women is
notable.
Evidently the women are not holding
their own but they oHt-live and bid fair
to out-numLHr the men.
The matter is worth looking into. An
alarmed contemporary suggests that
other nations of AmaZOnS may yet make
theirappearance, but this is a purely
fanciful apprehension. The AmaZ0ns
of the past, the warrior women who
lived and died like men, were made pos
sibic by destructive wars in which ell
the men of certain nations were exter-
minated. Under our modern civiliZa-
ton such q condition of things is mani
festly impossible, but the Superabund-
ance of women i'll the older countries
and their rapidly growing strength in the
United States will give the students of
social problems something to think
over. Do the statistics quoted support
the popular doctrine of the survival of
